# Notes:
# - Israel uses a mixed legal system combining elements of common law, civil law, and
# religious law traditions
# - Hebrew is the legally binding language; Arabic has special status; English translations
# are available for major laws but are not official
# - Israel does not have a single codified constitution; instead, it has a series of
# Basic Laws (Chukei Yesod) that serve quasi-constitutional functions
# - The Privacy Protection Law (1981) predates the EU GDPR but is being modernized;
# Israel has an EU adequacy decision under the Data Protection Directive (maintained
# under GDPR review)
# - The Privacy Protection Authority (PPA) is the supervisory authority for data protection
# - The Protection of Privacy Regulations (Data Security) 2017 impose specific technical
# and organisational security requirements on database owners
# - Israel is a major global cybersecurity hub (Unit 8200, startup ecosystem), making
# its legal framework highly relevant to Ansvar's client base
# - The Computer Law 1995 addresses computer crimes and unauthorised access
# - Nevo (nevo.co.il) is the dominant commercial legal database used by essentially all
# Israeli legal professionals; the Knesset database is the official government source
# - Israel's legal publishing uses Sefer HaChukkim (Book of Laws) for primary legislation
# and Kovetz HaTakanot (Collection of Regulations) for subsidiary legislation
